maintenance downtime and items described in Clause D below), CPA shall be entitled to receive
automatic credits as indicated immediately below. If not otherwise provided, the automatic

In submitting an Offer in response to this RFO, Respondent agrees that the measure of damages in the
event of a default or breach by Successful Respondent for failure to meet the statutorily imposed Go
Live deployment date (January 1, 2023) for the State of Texas Broadband Availability Map may be
difficult or impossible to calculate. In the event Successful Respondent fails to perform services or
complete the obligations under this RFO necessary to meet the Go Live deployment date, CPA may
require Successful Respondent to pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Implementation
Services Retention Amount described in Section II., Part L.1, and an amount equivalent to FIVE
HUNDRED AND NO/100 ($500.00) for each calendar day beyond the scheduled Go Live
deployment date during which the State of Texas Broadband Availability Map is not operational.
Imposition of these liquidated damages is CPA’s exclusive remedy for Successful Respondent’s
failure to meet the Go Live date; provided, however, that Successful Respondent’s failure to meet the
Go Live date by thirty (30) days or more shall be considered a material breach of any contract
resulting from this RFO and subject to termination in accordance with Section V. Part 26.3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Successful Respondent shall not be liable for the liquidated
damages described in this section, and Successful Respondent shall not be deemed to be in material
breach of any contract resulting from this RFO, if it fails to meet the Go Live deployment date due to
(i) the acts or omissions of CPA, or any of its employees, which cause a delay or failure of more than
48 hours by CPA to meet its obligations in a timely fashion; provided that the CPA Project Manager
received prompt written notice from Successful Respondent when Successful Respondent became
aware that Successful Respondent’s ability to meet a deliverable or milestone date was likely to be
delayed as a result of a delay or failure of more than 48 hours by CPA to meet its obligations in a
timely fashion, (ii) Force Majeure, (iii) Project Kick-off not occurring on or before August 15, 2022
for any reason other than breach of this Contract by Successful Respondent, or (iv) failure by CPA to
give Successful Respondent permission to commence data collection from Internet Service Providers
within 30 calendar days of the Project Kick-off commencement. It is understood and agreed that for
purposes of satisfying obligations for the Go Live date for deployment of the State of Texas
Broadband Availability Map, (x) data collection from Internet Service Providers over a fixed period
of 45 calendar days as proposed in the originally submitted project plan (and data received from
Internet Service Providers after the Internet Service Provider data collection period will be published
in a subsequent release of the State of Texas Broadband Availability Map), and (y) the initial State of
Texas Broadband Availability Map will be based upon the business rules and data sets that are
specified and available at the conclusion of the Internet Service Provider data collection period.

E. Contract Resulting From this Solicitation

The term “Contract” refers to the contract resulting from this RFO, if any. Respondent’s Offer is a
legal offer to contract based upon the terms, conditions, and specifications set forth in this RFO. An
Offer becomes a contract with CPA only when a duly authorized representative of CPA issues a valid
Purchase Order (PO). CPA may award the Contract by issuing a PO only, or the PO may incorporate
by reference a formal, written agreement executed by authorized representatives of CPA and
Successful Respondent.

The Contract will be between CPA and the Successful Respondent that will be responsible and
accountable for providing the Services. The term “Successful Respondent” includes subcontractors,
suppliers, and third-party service providers of Successful Respondent (including the provider of the
instance of ArcGIS Online where the Broadband Map should be able to be accessed, whether such
instance is licensed by CPA or by Successful Respondent). Successful Respondent shall be solely
responsible to CPA for all performance by Successful Respondent’s employees, representatives,
agents, subcontractors, suppliers, third-party service providers, and similar entities.

27. Section II., Part I.1. of Exhibit B (CPA’s RFO) to the Contract is deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:

1. Criminal Background Investigation by Successful Respondent. Prior to an Assigned Personnel


commencing Services under the contract resulting from this RFO, Successful Respondent shall
conduct a criminal background investigation. No personnel will be assigned to perform any
Services who has been convicted of any felony criminal offense involving dishonesty, a breach of
trust, or money laundering. The criminal background investigation must include: (a) searches of
available court records in the jurisdictions where the Assigned Personnel have lived or worked,
from at least seven (7) years (or back to the age of majority), and (b) a global sanctions screening.

For purposes of this clause, “Assigned Personnel” includes, without limitation, all individuals
provided by Successful Respondent under the contract resulting from this RFO who will or may
(1) be assigned as Key Personnel, (2) provide Services on-site at CPA’s premises, or (3) access
CPA information resources i.e., the procedures, equipment, and software that are employed,

N. PO Addition and Deletion

Any additions or deletions to products or Services must be mutually agreed in writing between CPA
and Successful Respondent, which agreement will include all applicable terms for any such addition
or deletion (including pricing).

30. Section V., Part 5. of Exhibit B (CPA’s RFO) to the Contract is deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:

5. Testing Acceptance; Return; Revocation. Prior to contract award or payment, as applicable,


requested samples will be subject to inspection and testing by CPA. CPA reserves the right to test
requested samples or items prior to contract award under this RFO and Respondent will bear all costs
of any testing. After contract award and prior to payment, CPA may conduct acceptance testing on
the requested items delivered under the Contract. If the delivered and/or installed requested items fail
to meet or exceed the acceptance criteria or any other requirement of the Contract, CPA may refuse to
accept the requested items. If CPA refuses to accept the requested items, CPA shall return such
requested items at Successful Respondent’s sole expense. If the delivered, requested items meet or
exceed all conditions and requirements of the Contract, CPA shall notify Successful Respondent in
writing that Successful Respondent may submit an invoice to CPA’s Accounts Payable Division for
such requested items. CPA reserves the right to revoke prior acceptance for, among other things,
latent defects.

Except as otherwise mutually agreed by CPA and Successful Respondent for specific Services,
CPA’s evaluation period shall be ten (10) business days for each written deliverable. On or before the
10th business day following receipt of a written deliverable by CPA, CPA shall either provide

written rejection of the written deliverable. In the event CPA has not notified Successful Respondent

date is specified in the Mandatory Price Sheet of this RFO, Respondent must list the number of days

to state a delivery time obligates Respondent to complete delivery in fourteen (14) calendar days or
by the latest acceptable delivery date specified in Section II (Specifications) or the Mandatory Price
Sheet of this RFO. Unrealistically short or long delivery promises may cause an Offer to be
disregarded. Consistent failure to meet delivery promises without valid reason may result in
Successful Respondent’s removal from the State of Texas’ Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL).
If Successful Respondent determines that it will be unable to comply with any scheduled deadline or
delivery of the requested items required under the Contract, Successful Respondent shall notify CPA
in advance in writing of the expected delay, the reason for the delay and the date by which the
requested items may be expected. CPA may, in its sole discretion, approve such delay in writing.
Notwithstanding anything in this Part 6 (Delivery; Dates; Delays; Delivery Hours) to the contrary,
CPA reserves the right to terminate the Contract and CPA does not waive any rights or remedies
available to CPA for Successful Respondent’s material nonperformance under the Contract
Successful Respondent must deliver all items during CPA’s standard business hours unless CPA’s
Procurement Section provides prior written approval for delivery before or after standard business
hours.

payable under this Contract that corresponds to the percentage of previously authorized work
completed in accordance with all requirements of this Contract up to the effective date of termination.

does not cure such material breach within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of such material
non-compliance from Successful Respondent, Successful Respondent shall have the right to terminate
this Contract, in addition to all other remedies available at law and equity. Nothing in this section
shall be construed as waiving or limiting either party’s rights or obligations under the Texas Prompt
Payment Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 2251.

Successful Respondent shall not incur further obligations or render further performance past the
effective date of the termination notice.

In the event of any termination pursuant to this Section V, Part 26.5, (i) there shall be no refund,
